The value story

November 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $0.49. 102 discounts in the 10 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is cheaper than 68 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Zup! X ($1.99, scores 95) beats it on value, while it beats Zup! 2 ($1.99, scores 90).

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $4.15. It costs $1.99.

Of the 357 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 1 comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 93 percent of the 1,330 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 48 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

Really good little puzzle game. You're basically moving pieces around to put each scene together, and there are no timers, scores or anything rushing you along. The artwork and music give the whole thing a really calm feel, so it's easy to just sit back and work through the puzzles at your own pace. Simple, relaxing and I really enjoyed it.

Pleasing music and art. Simple puzzles with only a few causing a moment to think. An enjoyable way to pass the time. I did not unlock the achievement for beating the game. This does not bother me at all, but some might find this annoying.
